There seems to be always seems to be something popping up from the next town over to 3-4 hour drive away etc. sometimes the drive is definitely worth it.

    So, this is cool:)

    When I bought a bundle of mac stuff, this was in the bottom of the box. Considering this stuff was stored in a garage for years with mouse shit, dirt, humidity etc I was so happy that she worked. Very cool item to have if you have a 128k or 512k.

    Powerbook 180c boot issues

    Yeah, mine needed cleaning there as well. Have to take time taking the metal frame off to open it up but easy after that. Amazing where all that cap juice flows too.

    270c resurrected

    So, picked up this 270c with a dock in two separate auctions, but same seller. Felt kind a bad for the low offer i sent on 270c but really didnt need it. The auction stated it was recapped and everything. Well, laptop showed up, so was curious to see if cap job was in fact “done”, and how...

    PB2400c doesn't boot. Is there anything useful information to fix it?

    Hate to resurrect an old thread. My 2400c gets the glod and then sometimes the speaker tick and board is warm, but no life other then that. Think its cpu card or logic board? All fuses are good. Haven’t tried a new pram either
